I was just about to start a thread asking for help with this song when I found this. I think I heard it a couple of times at Keith Festival and it is a lovely song. The chorus goes something like:

We'll gut and we'll clean and we'll salt them away
Fill up a barrel and earn a day's pay
And when the job's finished we'll be on our way
And we'll follow the herrin' shoals.

When I asked about this song at the time I was told that it was traditional, then that it was new, then that it was on lots of CDs and then that it wasn't. I have Googled for it but got nothing. Anybody know the lyrics and/or where I could find a recording?
